Is any place in Ohio not boring??
Cleveland.... But that's about it. Other than that, I've never seen anything really interesting or fun to do here....

Sometimes folks you have to take the good with the bad, But if it is any consolation, "Boy bands' are most definitely a European (British) creation.
Yeah, New Kids On The Block, Backstreet Boys (did anyone think that one through?
), Boyz II Men anyone?!!!
*holds up sword*
We should impale you for mentioning these atrocities....

I live in Ohio also, Zanesville, to be exact. Ever been there?
And it is WAY too cold right now.
Have you lives in Zanesville long?
My mom used to work at the Red Lobster there, I dunno about 10+ years ago.
Edit: I only live about 50 minutes from Zanesville.
Um, about 10 years or so. I live about 5 minutes away from the Red Lobster.... It's an alright town, tends to get pretty boring at times
I own a MIM strat. I changed the nut and and have never had a problem with it. Very solid, smooth tone. Great neck, and very comfortable to play live.
The rhythm guitarist in my band plays a Schecter, it plays like a dream, and it's good for any style of music...

Ah, too many to choose from. Here's the ones I listen to most out of all of em though...
1. Slash
2. Hendrix
3. Travis Stever
4. Dimebage Darrell
5. Jani Liimatainen (formerly of Sonata Arctica, for those who don't know of him, listen to the songs "Weballergy", "Revontulet" and "Wolf and Raven" by Sonata Arctica, "Weballergy" is pure solo genius)
Here's my thoughts.
Mice: They run on instinct, have no self conscious thought.
Humans: have the ability to tell right from wrong, and we are able to think for ourselves. We are completely responsible for our actions.
I think the effects that music has on 2 totally different species is not comparable. There seems to be a stereotype that all metal heads are violent, crude, dopey, drunk, and unstable. However, all of the guys in my metal band are well-put-together guys with decent jobs, loving families, and are overall decent people. I'm the biggest metal head out of all my friends, and I managed to graduate with a 3.8 grade point average (honor roll and scholarship worthy in the state of Ohio), and stay away from drugs.
I know a guy who won't listen to anything but classical music, is a huge drug addict, alcoholic, and semi-suicidal. Like Last_Rebel said, the crash inevitably comes from drugs and alcohol.
In the end, it really depends on the individual.
Here's a song by my guitar teacher and me. I wrote all the music and play guitar and bass, and he wrote the lyrics, and does vocals.
Here's the link, let me know what ya think: www.soundclick.com/siegeoftroy
I know the vocals are a little off-key, and I'm more of a blues/metal guitarist, and this was my first attempt at writing in a funk-like style.
Hmm, didn't really make much sense, but if I'm compruhending correctly, I'm gonna have to go with Metallica. The band over all leaves a lot to be desired meusically, and they are complete sellouts in my onion. Kirk Hammett is also a contributing factor, as he is the biggest sellout, and a very sloopy guitarist....
Here's a few more
Layla- Eric Clapton & Derek and the Dominoes
Purple Haze- Jimi Hendrix
Welcome to the Jungle- Guns N Roses
November Rain- Guns N Roses
When You Were Young- The Killers
Cherub Rock - Smashing Pumpkins
Fur Elise- Ludwig Van Beethoven
Girl You Really Got Me- Van Halen

certainly does!!
the first drummer ( as far as I know) to play a drum kit while spinning upside down with his kit, going round and round and still drumming.
and apart from that, he is a great drummer.Ken
I was really blown away the first time I heard "Dr. Feelgood". Sure, it has a kickin guitar riff, but I love the "groove" feel that it has. I wish people would stop focusing so much on his personal life, and mistakes that he made, and just see him for the great musician he is.
Sweet Child O Mine, Paradise City, by Gun N Roses. Or try any Red Hot Chili Peppers, songs like "Suck My Kiss", or "Californication".
Some older rock stuff by Cheap Trick, Boston, REO Speedwagon, or Journey tends to work well.
I inherited some genetic ability when it comes to music, all of the members on my mom's side of the family (her included) have perfect pitch, and I was lucky enough to inherit it. They all have amazing musical ability, and can master most instruments in just a year or two. My littlest brother, on the other hand, has absolutely NO musical ability, but that comes just as much from him being plum lazy, as much as a lack of talent...
My approach is a mix of technicality and freeness at the same time. I was raised playing classical piano, so I had a hard time letting go, and being able to play stuff on the spot on guitar. My guitar teacher helped me get over that quickly, as many of my lessons were freeform blues jams, for the sole purpose of helping me get over my fear of improvisation.
My playing approach involves a mix of my favorite styles, blues, metal, and classical. Here's how it breaks down in the simplest form possible: I use classical music and theory as my base form of songwriting, hence, it's natural that I would put that into a heavy metal style, and since I can't play as fast as most metal guitarists I use blues techniques to make up for my lack of speed, and the stiffness that classical music tends to have.
Although I use these on an "as needed" basis, I do happen to love each individual style, and I chose to blend them together because I was familiar with each of them, and the fact that the sound of these styles being blended together has a "fresh" sound.
I agree with etc-04, I own all of the games, and enjoy them quite a bit, but I still prefer to play my real guitar.
I was wondering if there were any other fans of the Progressive Rock band "Coheed and Cambria". I am a HUGE fan, a band mate of mine introduced me to them almost a year ago, and in that time, I have learned about 10 of their songs by heart, a great deal of my lead playing style is influenced by their lead guitarist Travis Stever, and my vocal style is heavily influenced by their lead singer/guitarist Claudio Sanchez. I can sing in the high falsetto register he uses, but I prefer to sing a bit lower for comfort reasons. I also love the fact that they have one story concept behind all of their albums.
I was wondering if anyone else on Chordie enjoyed listening to/playing Coheed and Cambria? If so, what are your favorite songs?
PS, My first concert was actually going to the Vans Warped Tour to see Coheed and Cambria in Cleveland
Nope, not southern at all, born in Montana, in Ohio at the moment, but still clinging to my western roots Planning on moving back to Montana in the next year or so.
I'm getting a digital recorder real soon, so I will post some of my work as soon as possible. Don't have a camera, or I'd have a buttload of vids on youtube
Dude, that's tragic, but strangley hilarious...

Amps
Carlsbro GLX100 (even though I like Slash, I've never liked playing through Marshal amps)

Tommy Lee deserves some credit
Mitch Mitchell is one of the elite drummers in my opinion
The Rev, of Avenged Sevenfold
Josh Eppard, formerly of Coheed and Cambria
Howdy y'all, I've been coming to this site for about 2 years now, but decided to register on a whim.
I've been playing guitar for 3 and a half years, been playing piano since I was 4 years old.
I'm in 2 bands, as the lead/rhythm guitarist and backup vocalist in a blues/rock band, and a lead guitarist in a heavy metal band.
My biggest musical influences are Slash (Guns N Roses), Jimi Hendrix, Travis Stever & Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria), and Dimebag Darrel (Pantera, Damageplan).
I'm big on writing music, not lyrics, music, I can't work with words for some reason. I write mainly in a blues/rock/metal style, and I am starting to write in the symphonic power metal style.
I listen to just about every style of music, but I am mainly into Symphonic Power Metal (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica), Blues/Rock (Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry), Heavy Metal (Guns N Roses, Motley Crue, Pantera), Folk Metal/Black Metal (Finntroll, Arch Enemy, Dethklok), and Progressive Rock (Coheed and Cambria, Styx, Rush, Yes).
As my username suggests, I am big into ancient myths, mainly Greek, Norse, and American Indian myths.
Anyways, just a little info about me, just wanted to say hey to everybody.
